We are looking for a new Senior Finance Officer to join our Central Services Team. The post holder will play a key role as part of the Finance Department, working with the Finance Director and two part time Finance Officers. You will be responsible for the preparation of monthly management accounts, preparing income claims, and working with colleagues to provide all accounting functions including a monthly payroll.
You will be an integral member of the team looking to ensure the financial services function fulfils its role of supporting operational teams.

This will include liaising with operational managers to ensure income is maximised and to provide an input into budget management.

Accuracy is essential as is the ability to manage a complex workload and maintaining confidentiality at all times.
A friendly, helpful individual, you will go that extra mile to ensure our colleagues are always happy with the service provided. You will need to be a strong team player who is flexible and willing to learn new processes.
